TOEFL Quick Prep Introduction About the TOEFL iBT™ Test The TOEFL iBT test measures your ability to use and understand the English language as it is read, heard, spoken, and written in the university classroom. As the most accepted English-language test in the world, more than 7,500 universities, agencies, and other institutions in more than 130 countries accept TOEFL scores as part of their admissions criteria. In order for the TOEFL iBT test to measure how well you read, listen, speak, and write in English, and how well you use these skills together, you will be asked to integrate these skills. For example, you may read a passage or listen to a lecture, and then write or speak about what you learned. Using TOEFL iBT™ Quick Prep TOEFL iBT Quick Prep can help you prepare for the TOEFL iBT test.

It may have developed independently, but many scholars believe that the spread of agriculture and iron throughout Africa linked it to the major centers of the Near East and Mediterranean world. The drying up of what is now the Sahara desert had pushed many peoples to the south into sub-Saharan Africa.
